Mu Alpha Theta (National Math Honor Society)

Mu Alpha Theta is an organization whose purpose is to stimulate interest in mathematics by providing public recognition of superior mathematical scholarship and by promoting various mathematical activities. It is co-sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. There are now over 1950 chapters in the United States and fifteen foreign countries. Colleges and major universities recognize membership in Mu Alpha Theta as an important part of a student's academic resume. Topics presented during club meetings, participation in our free mathematics competitions, and the interest generated by these activities help members to gain a greater understanding and enjoyment of mathematics.

Membership in CVHS Mu Alpha Theta is an honor bestowed upon a student. Once inducted, members have the responsibility to maintain outstanding character, scholarship, leadership, and service throughout their time at CVHS. Our main goal is to promote student interest and active participation in Mathematics. The Carnegie Vanguard HS chapter of Mu Alpha Theta participates in tutoring, math competitions, and math discussions. We meet bi-weekly on Wednesdays during lunch in room 242.
